I am an active, 35-yr old male, who is fighting some kind of infection for three weeks, finally went to doctor, who prescribed Levaquin to knock out bacterial infection. Took one pill yesterday at 8:30 a.m. Did not have immediate reactions, but began to develop sore throat throughout the day. Basically crashed last night at about 9 p.m. Exhausted, went to bed, where I had "tired" joints (hard to qualify this, not pain per se, but achiness), numbness on left side of body, tingling, bizarre dreams, but basically so TIRED. Feel better this a.m. (still have the sore throat, residual numbness and joint ache) but I am NOT taking the Levaquin again - after reading these posts, hopefully one pill will not cause me any long term damage.

I'm so happy you found this website and looked up levaquin before you took another pill. I believe you have probably saved your own life!

You are one of the fortunate ones. Count your luck stars and find a safer drug.

Forget all the drugs. Google "grapefruit seed extract" and "bacterial infections". You'll find natural alternatives the doctors won't tell you about. It might impact the college loans their paying off.
